Being Peacefully is all about helping you attain Enlightenment, plain and simple. 

There are four clearly defined stages of Buddhist Enlightenment and I successfully help people achieve their moment of Awakening through the first two stages of Enlightenment, commonly referred to as Stream-enterer (sotapanna) and Once-returner (sakadagami); progress beyond that will mostly depend on you.
Stream-entry is a big deal.  This is serious Enlightenment training and applied Dharma life coaching for those who have a serious desire to step-up their practice and level-up.
Turn every moment into Dharma practice and progress towards Enlightenment!

Do you strive to be more like a peaceful and happy monk, but out here in the real world?
I won't mince my words here, I help make that real. I help people attain their moment of Awakening by helping them cut through the noise of contemporary Buddhism and carve out a personal practice that tightly focuses on the practices, views, and ideas that directly lead to Awakening and then I help you progress through the stages of Buddhist Enlightenment.

Learn new meditation techniques and how to make them work for you!

Across all of the various meditation and mind training techniques that I instruct on, I provide guidance and practice in properly identifying, applying, and most importantly, balancing: (1) concentration, (2) effort, (3) focus, and (4) mindfulness in order to teach you how to find and hold the object of your meditation with stability, consistency, and reliability.  This is so much deeper than it sounds and you will not find this training anywhere else (except perhaps from one of my students).

Stay motivated as you see yourself changing!

I will also work with you to transition your dharma and meditation into real-world application and practice.  Learning how to effectively turn every moment into another moment that you can practice Buddhist mind training by cultivating mindful skilfulness is the keystone to significantly accelerating your progress and making fundamental improvements to your life in ways that cannot be achieved without explicitly doing so.  Teaching people how to do this is exactly what I do, and it's what will lead you to your moment of Awakening and your measurable progression through the stages of Enlightenment.

What I offer is very special!
And while it certainly isn't for everyone, if it's for you... it's going to change your life.

"My sessions with Michael were truly an invaluable experience. His deeply intuitive nature and his insights into the dharma and the business world directly helped me make many positive steps to advance my professional career and my personal life in ways that I wouldn't have expected from a meditation or Buddhist coach and he has become a trusted executive advisor to me."
- Robert H.
"Following our last session together, something Michael said triggered a major breakthrough, when an old habit pattern that I was wearing like a shield finally came undone. "
- C. Howell
"Michael's insight on how to apply the teachings to my everyday life was direct and surprisingly on point. I now understand concepts I spent so much effort trying to get before."
- Veronica T.
"With Mike's help I learned that meditation and dharma go deeper than I ever imagined and how I can use them to practice my off-the-cushion ability to take a step back when a judgment or a strong emotion suddenly arrives. I can see them coming now, as if I see it all from a distance and I no longer react to my anger and frustration which too often had drawn me into conflicts over and over again."
- Andy D.
"Michael was kind, patience, and compassionate but he is also direct and didn't let me make any excuses or buy into any of my own stories. We got back on the mat together and I learned a lot from him. I would suggest him to anybody who is having a hard time with "the practical application of Buddhism" or their motivation to meditate."
- Mike P.
"Michael helped me actually understand the point of using dharma instead of just reading and knowing it and to use it as part of my meditation. I can breathe again and handle my stress and problems much better."
- Kevin T.
